A former federal court employee in Los Angeles and her husband have pleaded guilty to accessing and leaking confidential information to tip off suspected criminals, including Armenian Power gang members.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Riordan says Nune Gevorkyan and her husband Oganes Koshkaryan entered their guilty pleas Monday to conspiracy and other charges.

Gevorkyan worked as a clerk where criminal documents are filed for two years, and looked at sealed indictments before raids on Armenian Power associates across Southern California in February 2011.
